SLIM is a large area experiment (440m2) installed at the Chacaltaya cosmic ray laboratory since 2001, and about 100m2 at Koksil, Himalaya, since 2003. It is devoted to the search for intermediate mass magnetic monopoles (107–1013 GeV/c2) and nuclearites in the cosmic radiation using stacks of CR-39 and Makrofol nuclear track detectors. In four years of operation it will reach a sensitivity to a flux of about 10−15 cm−2 s−1 sr−1. We present the results of the calibration of CR-39 and Makrofol and the analysis of a first sample of the exposed detector.

Abstract

SLIM is a large area experiment (440m2) installed at the Chacaltaya cosmic ray laboratory since 2001, and about 100m2 at Koksil, Himalaya, since 2003. It is devoted to the search for intermediate mass magnetic monopoles (107–1013 GeV/c2) and nuclearites in the cosmic radiation using stacks of CR-39 and Makrofol nuclear track detectors. In four years of operation it will reach a sensitivity to a flux of about 10−15 cm−2 s−1 sr−1. We present the results of the calibration of CR-39 and Makrofol and the analysis of a first sample of the exposed detector.
